An alcoholic extract of a sea weed Sargassum muticum has been used to control corrosion of mild steel in 0.5 N HCl. Weight loss method and Electrochemical studies have been used in this study. Weight loss study reveals that 500 ppm of the inhibitor offers 99.25 % inhibition efficiency. Polarization study reveals that the inhibitor functions as an anodic inhibitor at higher concentration. The AC impedance spectra confirm the formation of a protective film on the metal surface. Adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the metal surface follows Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Inhibition of corrosion of carbon steel in dam water by hexanesulphonic acid as its sodium salt C6H13SO3Na (SHXS) in the absence and presence of a bivalent cation zinc ion (Zn2þ) has been investigated using weight loss method. Results of weight loss method indicate that inhibition efficiency (IE) increased with increase of inhibitor concentration. Polarization study reveals that SHXS-Zn2+ system controls the cathodic reaction predominantly. AC impedance spectra reveal that a protective film is formed on the metal surface. The nature of the metal surface has been analysed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).

The corrosion resistance of SS 18/8 in natural sea water, in presence of an inhibitor named Thiourea-Zn2+ has been evaluated. Weight loss method, polarization study and AC impedance spectra have been employed to evaluate the corrosion resistance of SS 18/8 alloy in natural sea water, in presence of an inhibitor named Thiourea-Zn2+ system. Weight loss method reveals that Thiourea-Zn2+ system offers a maximum corrosion inhibition efficiency of 95% in controlling corrosion of SS 18/8 alloy in natural sea water. Synergism parameters are found to be greater than 1, confirming the synergistic effect existing between Thiourea-Zn2+. Adsorption of inhibitor molecules on the metal surface obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Polarisation study reveals that the inhibitors named Thiourea-Zn2+ system functions as mixed type of inhibitor. AC impedance spectra confirm the formation of a protective film on the metal surface. This formulation of Thiourea-Zn2+ may be used in cooling water systems where SS 18/8 alloy pipelines are used to carry sea water which is used as coolant. Also, Thiourea-Zn2+ coating can be given on SS 18/8 alloy to protect it from corrosion by sea water when SS 18/8 alloy is used as hull plates in ship industry.

The inhibition efficiency of L-Arginine-Zn2+system in controlling corrosion of carbon steel in sea water has been evaluated by the weight-loss method. The formulation consisting of 250 ppm of L-Arginine and 25 ppm of Zn2+has 91% IE. A synergistic effect exists between L-Arginine and Zn2+. Polarization study reveals that the L-Arginine-Zn2+system functions as an anodic inhibitor and the formulation controls the anodic reaction predominantly. AC impedance spectra reveal that protective film is formed on the metal surface. Cyclic voltammetry study reveals that the protective film is more compact and stable even in a 3.5% NaCl environment. The nature of the protective film on a metal surface has been analyzed by FTIR, SEM, and AFM analysis.

Inhibition efficiency of an aqueous extract of soapnut (Sapindus Trifoliatus) and Zn2+in controlling corrosion of mild steel in well water at room temperature has been evaluated by using weight loss method, polarization study and AC impedance spectra. Dynamic light scattering and Vickers hardness have also been employed. Weight loss method reveals that the formulation consisting of 10 ml soapnut extract and 50 ppm Zn2+ has 97 % inhibition efficiency in controlling corrosion of mild steel immersed in well water. Synergism parameters suggest that a synergistic effect exists between soapnut extract and Zn2+. Adsorption isotherm of metal surface obeys Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Polarization study reveals that the inhibitor system functions as anodic type of inhibitor. AC impedance spectra confirm the protective film formed on the metal surface. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) study reveals surface is in nano meter scale. The Vickers hardness of metal surface was increases in inhibitor system.

The environmental friendly inhibitor system DL-phenylalanine-Zn2+has been investigated by weight loss method. A synergistic effect exists between DL-phenylalanine and Zn2+system. The formulation consisting of 150 ppm of DL-phenylalanine and 5 ppm of Zn2+offers good inhibition efficiency of 90%. Polarization study reveals that this formulation functions as a anodic inhibitor. AC impedance spectra reveal that a protective film is formed on the metal surface. The surface morphology has been analysed by SEM and EDAX. A suitable mechanism of corrosion inhibition is proposed based on the results obtained from weight loss study and electrochemical studies.

The inhibition efficiency (IE) of sodium molybdate (SM) in controlling corrosion of carbon steel in an aqueous solution containing 120 ppm of Cl-, in the absence and presence of Zn2+has been evaluated by weight-loss method. A synergistic effect exists between SM and Zn2+when the concentration of Zn2+is 25 ppm and above. Inhibition efficiencies obtained are greater than 85%. Antagonistic effect exists between SM and Zn2+when the concentration of Zn2+is 10 ppm and below. The SM-Zn2+system shows excellent IE up to third day. Above third day IE decreases. Acceleration of corrosion takes place. Excellent IE is shown at pH 5,7 and 12. At pH 9, IE decreases since Zn2+is precipitated as Zn(OH)2in the bulk of the solution. Polarization study reveals that SM-Zn2+system functions as a mixed inhibitor. FTIR spectra reveal that the protective film consists of Fe2+-SM complex and Zn(OH)2.

The corrosion inhibition of mild steel in 0.5M H2SO4 and 1M HCl by leave extract of eucalyptus was studied using gravimetric (weight loss) method at various temperature. The results obtained showed that the efficiency of inhibition increases with increase in the extract concentrations and decreases with rise in temperature. The adsorption of plant extract on the mild steels was found to obey Longmuir adsorption isotherm. This could be due to physical adsorption of cation species on the metal surface.

The inhibition efficiency of a phosphonic acid, Diethylene Triamine Pentamethylene Phosphonic acid (DTPMP) in controlling corrosion of carbon steel immersed in an aqueous solution containing 60 ppm of Cl-has been evaluated by weight loss method in the absence and presence of Zn2+. The formulation consisting of DTPMP and Zn2+has excellent inhibition efficiency (IE). A synergistic effect is noticed between Zn2+and DTPMP. Addition of sodium gluconate (SG) enhances the IE of Zn2+and DTPMP system. The DTPMP-Zn2+-SG system function as a mixed inhibitor as revealed by polarization study. AC impedance spectrum, optical and atomic force micrographs reveal the formation of a protective film on the metal surface. FTIR spectra reveal that the protective film consists of Fe2+-DTPMP complex, Fe2+-SG complex and Zn(OH)2.
